A plant cell remains uncharged in shape or size when it is kept in a solution what kind of solution is it?
A plant cell remains unchanged in shape or size when it is kept in an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to that inside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water. This balance maintains turgor pressure, keeping the plant cell firm and stable.
Why do herbaceous plants wilt when they do not have enough water and stand erect when they have water?
This relates to the type of solution the plant cells are exposed to. In general, there are 3 distinct types of solutions in nature: hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. A hypotonic solution is one that has a low concentration of a solute relative to the solute concentration inside the cell, such as distilled water. An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the inside of the cell. A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute than the inside of the cell.Back to the plants...When plants wilt, that means the are exposed to an isotonic solution. When this happens, the net amount of water moving between cells and the environment is equal. As a result, the cell becomes flaccid and the plant wilts.When plants stand erect, this is a result of turgor pressure. When in a hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, the plant cells absorb the water and store it in its central vacuole. The cell cytoplasm enlarges and pushes up against the sturdy cell walls. This cell is said to be turgid, or stable.
Is Vinegar an Isotonic solution?
No, vinegar is not an isotonic solution. Vinegar is an acetic acid solution, which means it has a different osmotic pressure compared to isotonic solutions.
What does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
What is a isotonic solution?
An isotonic solution is a solution with the same concentration of solutes as another solution, resulting in no net movement of water across a cell membrane. This type of solution helps maintain cell shape and function by preventing osmotic pressure from building up.
How hypotonic and hypertonic solution can make a plant rigid and firm or make it wilt.?
it can make it wilt because there is no water in the cell which is hypertonic solutions.
How does being placed in a hypertonic solution affect a plant?
Being placed in a hypertonic solution causes water to move out of the plant cells by osmosis, leading to loss of turgor pressure and wilting of the plant. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to cell death if the plant is not able to recover by accessing more water.

What is the solution of isotonic?
It depends on the solution.
Is Vinegar an Isotonic solution?
No, vinegar is not an isotonic solution. Vinegar is an acetic acid solution, which means it has a different osmotic pressure compared to isotonic solutions.
Is it true that a object will swel l in isotonic solution?
It is not true that an object will swell in an isotonic solution because there is no different concentration gradient between the object and the isotonic solution
A solution that has an equal amount of particles?
A solution that has an equal amount of particles is called an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cells, leading to no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This allows cells to maintain their shape and size.
A solution that contains the same level of NaCl as that found in red blood cells is called?
isotonic solution
How do isotonic solutions and equilibrium differ?
isotonic solution, equilibrium
What is in an isotonic glucose solution?
Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.
What does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
An example of an isotonic solution?
Normal Saline Solution, or anything that contains 0.9% NaCl
